GTA Online Transfer Information - Cross Play?

Josheh

Hi guys, I own GTA V on the PS3, And will be buying it for the pc and the ps4, I was just curious what exactly does "Transfer" mean ? Will I be able to go from the PS4 version in say, the bedroom to playing it on my laptop on the PC version? And if not will you only be able to transfer it once? or ?

If I transfer it to the PC, Will I also be able to put it on the PS4 version? If not there's no point buying both technically..

Everything they said so far about transfering GTAO pogression to the new systems can be seen in the official announcement on the newswire.

All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be available for the PlayStation 4 system, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.

For those asking, Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression will be transferable to PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.

To me, it looks like you can transfer your progression to only one of the said systems. I could be wrong though.

Thanks!

No because for example, if u transferred to pc, that has a way to make more money or status faster than on consoles, and not all people have all the gaming systems. It's just unfair.

For me, the reason I'm going to be buying both is just simply, I am a fanboy of the series and am very grateful it's releasing on PC.

Reasons I'm buying it on PS4 and PC even though I own the PS3 version -

1. I have my PS4 setup in the bedroom, So I'll be able to easily play it whenever I like "Likely online"

2. The PS3 is in the lounge room and my partner likes to watch her shows, So It'll be easier to get it on the PS4

3. Sometimes I like to be half sociable and hang out with the family / her in the lounge, So buying the PC version for my Metabox Gaming laptop -

a. Helps rockstar out, and shows them we support (The PC Edition)

b. I really really support mods

c. I was hoping I could cross play PC/PS4 so I could continue my online experience on the laptop and then return to the PS4 version at a later date

d. Allows me to drain the boredom of Home and Away by playing this.

Now all I need to do is think of which one I'd be playing online more with... If I end up playing online on the PC then there is no point in me getting it on the PS4 really.. So I was thinking of

1. Get the PS4 version for playing / online

2. Use the PC version to Mod / Sandbox around when bored in the lounge

I guess there's nothing stopping me from creating 2 characters and playing 1 on the PC and one on the PS4, But that's annoying, it's hard enough to level up and get money the legit way on it now IMO since I don't play it a great deal.

One time transfer in my opinion. Once GTA5 launches on new systems and PC you will have an option to transfer to the platform of your choice and that`s it. Personally I`ll be going from Xbox 360 to PC. If the one time transfer is the case then I fell sorry for those who own multiple platforms. On the other hand maybe you will have a one time transfer to each platform. Or maybe even a shared profile through all platforms, but I highly doubt it.

I am pretty sure the ID will just magically turn into your Social Club name. Rockstar uses their own servers for the game, after all. They are obviously connected to the Social Club.

Having XBL/PSN gamertags on PC would get really confusing.

Unless I'm reading this wrong, and you have to name your character on console. I forgot, do you name your character? I don't think so? Anyway, multiplayer on PC was all Social Club based as of late (Max Payne 3). So it will remain the same with V.

You do, actually. I never understood why you could, since it's never used in Online proper.

I just assumed it would use the console username because that's what is displayed on your created races and deathmatches.
